Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Wu Tian swayed, and the three-headed, six-armed demon behind him almost completely merged with his own body, crashing into the turbulent and unstable gate of the underworld.

At the same moment, the Black Mountain Demon also carried the mountain in, following closely behind.

The underworld is the oldest and most mysterious place in this world.

It had no upper or lower, no left or right, no sun or moon, not even light or sound, and no so-called earth; it was a state of utter chaos.

There is only one magnificent river, whose origin is unknown, which sweeps the souls that have fallen from the mortal realm into its waves.

After being swept away by countless spirits, the rolling river became like a body covered in mud, eventually turning into a murky, dark yellow color.

This is the Yellow Springs, as it has been said since ancient times.

From the sky up to the underworld.

The Heavenly River and the Yellow Springs flow mightily and ceaselessly, weaving together the most fundamental cycle of reincarnation in this world.

The Yellow Springs engulf everything, surging endlessly throughout the entire Netherworld, leading to its deepest depths.

Once all living beings enter the Netherworld, they will be submerged by the surging Yellow Springs and will never be able to escape until their essence, energy, and spirit dissipate and they are transformed into ghosts.

Only a few extremely special supernatural powers and methods can allow one to cross the Yellow Springs and reach the human world.

This is what is commonly known as the Yin Road, a road opened up in the underworld.

After cultivating the Five Ghosts Moving Technique to create the Nine Sons Phenomenon, the Ghost Mother used this supernatural power to build a Yin Road.

The path to the underworld is different from the path to the mortal world; it has no direction, no length, and no beginning or end.

The most important part of the Yin Road is its entrance.

No matter where one falls into the underworld, as long as one can find the gateway to the human world, one can escape; this is the path to the underworld.

The path to the underworld opened by the Demon Mother naturally originates from within herself.

Gu Santong used the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yin Mo Shuttle to travel through the underworld. He was about to reach the area where Yingmingjian was located, but the underworld road in front of him suddenly collapsed.

His body fell from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yin Demon Shuttle, which spun around and cast down azure light, enveloping his body.

"The Demon Mother is dead?"

With the fall of the Demon Mother, the portal collapsed, and the original Yin Road was naturally severed and could no longer be used.

Gu Santong's expression was not very good. He returned to the Netherworld very quickly via the Yin Path, and it only took him a few breaths to get back.

But in such a short time, the Ghost Mother died.

As a Corpse Immortal, he was born from death and did not belong to either the Yin or Yang realms, making him extremely special. However, he was also subtly restrained by the Netherworld. At this moment, the Yellow Springs were rolling in, giving him the illusion that he was about to be completely buried.

If one stays in the Netherworld for too long, even a wandering immortal would likely be completely submerged by the Yellow Springs.

"What a hassle!" Even with his level of cultivation, it would take him a lot of effort to break through the Netherworld and return to the mortal realm.

What made him even more distressed was that the path he cultivated was that of the Drought Demon, and he had already cultivated the Drought Demon Dharma Form many years ago. As soon as he was born, he could turn the land into a barren wasteland.

The drought demon is of the fire element, and in this netherworld, the yin energy is extremely heavy, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

This is also one of the reasons why he was willing to join the Fire God Palace. The Taoist scriptures of the Fire God Palace have an excellent auxiliary effect on his cultivation of the Drought Demon Form, and can make up for his own foundation.

As for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yin Mosuo, this is a Dharma form he has recently cultivated, used to balance the Yin and Yang within his body, harmonize the fire and evil energy, and also possesses the wonderful ability to fly through the sky and escape into the earth, traversing the Yin and Yang realms.

Possessing both the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yin Demon Shuttle and the Drought Demon, he has gone extremely far on the path of a wandering immortal, possessing profound cultivation and unparalleled magical power.

However, at that moment, a great mountain directly crushed the void, broke the boundary between Yin and Yang, and fell from the Yang world to the Yellow Springs, floating on the turbulent River of the Underworld like a lone boat.

At the summit of this great mountain stood two figures.

One of them, dressed in a black robe and shrouded in layers of illusory figures, was none other than the Black Mountain Demon.

The other one was shrouded in the appearance of a three-headed, six-armed demon, with its six arms flying and its three heads roaring, making it extremely ferocious.

This was Wu Tian's first time entering the underworld, and he felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration and joy.

He learned for the first time what ghosts and gods were.

All living beings in the human realm, whether ordinary mortals or immortals and saints, will be corrupted by yin energy and submerged in the Yellow Springs once they enter the Netherworld. They can only resist by relying on their own cultivation, magic power, and supernatural abilities.

But ghosts and gods are completely different.

Ghosts and spirits possess authority in the netherworld, like the darlings born of the netherworld. They can freely roam the netherworld and travel between the realms of Yin and Yang. Even the waters of the Yellow Springs cannot drown them.

Wu Tian even felt that his ghostly appearance could bathe in the Yellow Springs.

"Black Mountain Demon, how dare you interfere in the affairs of my Fire God Palace? I think you're tired of living."

Gu Santong spoke, his tone filled with unspeakable arrogance and contempt.

He and the Black Mountain Demon were demons of the same era.

Even the Black Mountain Demon became famous much earlier than him. When the Black Mountain Demon was famous throughout the world, he was just an old corpse who had not yet attained enlightenment.

However, times have changed, and the Black Mountain Demon has been unable to make a breakthrough in order to refine his fighting techniques.

He had already obtained a great opportunity to cultivate into a rogue immortal, and even refined two great Dharma forms, one yin and one yang, with an incomparably broad path of cultivation.

Therefore, he had the right to be arrogant and conceited in front of the Black Mountain Demon.

Just as he was speaking, the Black Mountain Demon made his move.

In this netherworld, his strange phenomena at Yinshan received unimaginable blessings.

The mountain was no longer just a phantom, but had condensed into a texture that was almost tangible. The rocks were jagged and the whole mountain was as black as ink. Countless twisted and wailing ghostly figures were clearly visible on it, exuding a mysterious Taoist charm that suppressed the underworld, communicated between life and death, and guided the souls of the dead.

As soon as Yinshan appeared, it stirred up howling winds all around, and even the surrounding Yellow Springs were stirred up with raging waves.

"The mayfly shakes the tree."

Gu Santong's own body was the body of the drought demon, the manifestation of the drought demon. He simply raised one palm and pressed it upwards in a daze.

Within his palm, countless intricate runes appeared and disappeared, outlining dark red flames, like magma beneath the earth.

Wherever his palm passed, space twisted and melted, emitting a hissing sound, and collided violently with Yinshan, which was pressing down with the power of the entire underworld.

"boom!!!"

The strange phenomenon of Yinshan, which communicates with the underworld and guides life and death, collides with the drought demon, which is extremely yang and dry and burns all things. It is like water and fire meeting, and an eruption of a raging tide that sweeps across the eight directions.

Yinshan Mountain trembled violently, large sections collapsed from the blow of that palm, the rocks turned to nothingness, and the entire mountain was shaking violently.

Even if the strange phenomena of Yinshan were blessed in the netherworld.

Even though Gu Santong was restrained in the Netherworld.

Even if the Black Mountain Demon possesses the power to fight against a wandering immortal.

However, Gu Santong was no ordinary wandering immortal; he had cultivated two Dharma forms, one yin and one yang, with incredibly profound cultivation. In this clash, the Black Mountain Demon was at a complete disadvantage.

However, at the very moment Yinshan collided with the drought demon, the three-headed, six-armed demon behind Wu Tian perfectly overlapped with his true form.

The three faces displayed anger, a smirk, and indifference, while the six arms were outstretched, naturally surrounded by a chilling and malevolent aura.

Then all three heads opened and began to swallow and spit out the water of the Yellow Springs. As the Yellow Springs entered their bellies, the lifespan of the three-headed, six-armed, ghostly and divine powers increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

1120, 1150... 1200...

When the divine ring of the three-headed, six-armed demon god was raised to 1,500 years, it finally let out a burp, unable to swallow another drop of Yellow Spring water.

“This is such a pleasant surprise!”

Wu Tian truly hadn't expected that Huang Quan would be of such great help to the Three-Headed Six-Armed Ghost God. As long as he digested and absorbed this gain, he could return to the Netherworld again and devour Huang Quan.

This was practically his birthplace.

Because of the antiquity and mystery of the Yellow Springs, even Wu Tian's all-seeing eyes could not have detected that his three-headed, six-armed demonic form would undergo such a transformation and possess such an opportunity in the Yellow Springs.

The three-headed, six-armed demonic figure's divine halo has been upgraded to 1500 years, which can save him a huge amount of time and hard work. More importantly, he can return to the underworld every once in a while and devour the Yellow Springs.

As long as the three-headed, six-armed demonic form can withstand it, it can continuously improve until it reaches perfection after three thousand years.

As Wu Tian's three-headed, six-armed, demonic form reached its 1500th year, the majestic Yinshan Mountain phenomenon of the Black Mountain Demon began to resonate with it in a very subtle way.

The slight tremor in Yinshan actually broke free from the control of the Black Mountain Demon and hovered above the three-headed, six-armed ghost god, sending down countless strands of extremely pure magical light that continuously flowed into the ghost god.

The two energies blended seamlessly, their Daoist principles complementing each other, and in the void, they faintly outlined a larger, more ancient, and more majestic blurry phantom.

The phantom wore a flat-topped crown with tassels hanging down, obscuring its face; it was draped in a dark black python robe, on which the image of the Yellow Springs rolling down was depicted.

This ancient being held up a mountain in its left hand and grasped a judge's pen in its right. Although it was only a tiny wisp of energy manifested, it naturally exuded a terrifying Daoist aura that governed the netherworld, judged yin and yang, and defined life and death.

"The appearance of Yama, the King of Hell?!"

The Black Mountain Demon's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but gasp in surprise, his face showing horror.

He once obtained a handwritten letter from Yama, the King of Hell, and thus gained some understanding of Yama.

The legend of Yama is extremely ancient in this world. In some legends, Yama is a primordial demon god born from the underworld; there are also ancient legends that describe Yama not as a single being, but as a manifestation of a certain ancient being who obtained the authority of the underworld.

Some ancient sages even obtained the power of the underworld and refined the image of Yama, the King of Hell, in an attempt to forge a path for Yama and rule the underworld.

Although what appeared at this moment was merely a phantom formed from a wisp of energy, the essence of the Yama King's appearance was far too ancient, a being comparable to a Golden Immortal.

Even a mere phantom image caused Gu Santong to feel unprecedented pressure, and even the operation of his own Dharma form felt somewhat sluggish.

"Pretend to be a ghost..."

His face was cold, and in the blink of an eye, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yin Demon Shuttle Dharma Form that had been slowly rotating around him silently separated into countless fine, almost transparent, pale green threads.

These silk threads seemed to possess a life of their own, weaving between reality and illusion, ignoring conventional defenses, and directly entangled Wu Tian and the Black Mountain Demon's true form and inner core.

Wherever it passed, even the void of the underworld was left with fine cracks that could not be healed for a long time, exuding a decaying aura, vicious and eerie.

The so-called Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yin Demon Shuttle was originally made from the corpse hair on his body. It was extremely yin and cold, filled with corpse energy, evil energy and corpse poison.

Even a single nail could kill a primordial spirit.

However, the number of corpse hair needles shot out at this moment was far more than a billion...

This is the full-force attack of a Loose Immortal-level Dharma Body.

Wu Tian and the Black Mountain Demon both became solemn, and their magical power poured into the three-headed, six-armed demonic figure and the strange phenomenon of Yin Mountain almost without reservation.

The previously blurry phantom of Yama, the King of Hell, suddenly solidified for a moment.

The cold gaze beneath the crown seemed to pierce through eternity, landing on Gu Santong. The hand that held up the mountain slowly extended out, then slowly turned over.

The moment the palm turned over, the entire underworld seemed to collapse.

It was a crushing force originating from the authority of the underworld.

Yama, the King of Hell, governs the netherworld and judges the yin and yang.

The threads formed from the countless green corpse hairs were vicious and treacherous, capable of corroding metal and stone and defiling the primordial spirit. Yet, under the will of that blurry hand turning over, they were wiped off the scroll as if by an invisible giant brush.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no deafening shriek, only a silent annihilation.

The countless corpse hair needles broke apart inch by inch, turning into the most primordial Yin energy, which was then completely purified by the Daoist aura emanating from that palm and returned to nothingness.

The illusory image of Yama, the King of Hell, seemed to have exhausted all its power, collapsing quietly like a bubble, leaving no trace.

"impossible!"

Gu Santong was horrified and speechless. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yin Demon Shuttle Dharma Form was one of his two Dharma Forms, and it could be said to be one of his lives.

At this moment, his Dharma form was broken, and he was immediately severely injured. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly weakened by more than half.

Wu Tian and the Black Mountain Demon, however, received tremendous benefits at this time.

The Yama King's image obliterates the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yin Demon Shuttle Dharma Image, scattering its form, but leaving behind an incomparably pure Dharma Image essence.

This was an unparalleled tonic for Wu Tian and the Black Mountain Demon.

"swallow!"

With a thought, Wu Tian summoned the three heads of the Ghost God Formation behind him, which roared and spread its six arms, frantically devouring the original power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Yin Demon Shuttle like a whale sucking water.

The ghostly and divine appearance became more solid and majestic at a visible speed, and the age of the divine halo increased rapidly once again.

1500, 1600... 1700...

The Black Mountain Demon was overjoyed. His Yin Mountain phenomenon was nourished by this source, which was of the same origin but even more refined. The mountain became even darker and heavier, and even began to show the phantoms of countless prison-suppressing ghost soldiers.

"Hahaha! God help me too!"

"Gu Santong, thank you for this generous gift!"

The Black Mountain Demon let out a long roar, and his aura, no longer suppressed, erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years.

Rumble!
The entire Yellow Springs trembled, and endless Yin energy converged from all directions, forming a huge vortex that surged wildly into his body.

The bottleneck that had bound him for countless years was forcibly broken through at this moment by his extremely profound foundation.

Its aura soared to the heavens, stirring the netherworld!
He had been accumulating for this day for three thousand years. At this moment, Gu Santong's Dharma essence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This allowed him to achieve complete perfection in his cultivation and spiritual practice, marking a crucial step forward.
